JAKE AARON is a British guitarist and songwriter who has moved in Folk, Rock and Jazz circles. His first EP of acoustic pieces was released in 2015 to positive reviews from folk and indie reviewers. Aaron’s 2018 single “Give Me Your Horse” was a bigger, jazzier number that had airplay on Folk stations as well as Jazz, including the BBC’s Jazz Nights. His debut album in 2019 was a collection of songs, longer lyrical offerings and instrumentals which was nominated for Debut Album of The Year by Fatea Magazine. His 2023 album Always Seeking was loosely imagined as a noir Western soundtrack and featured guest appearances by fusion guitarist John Etheridge, singer Kate Kurdyak from noir-pop band Vox Rea, and original artwork by Anthony Macbain (Grand Theft Auto).

Jake Aaron says about his new single “Watery Moon”: “When I was strumming the opening chords I started thinking of the great doo-wop songs of the 1950s. I like the melodrama and nostalgia of the piece and enjoyed writing the lyrics too. It was great to record with the same line up from my last two albums: Steve Lodder on piano and Hammond, Davide Mantovani on double bass and Marc Parnell on drums. They just got it immediately and I think this was the first take.

“Watery Moon” is the first single from an album due out next year.
